Ok, so I admit defeat. I just can't focus right now on anything it seems. A lot is going on in my life and studying is really not happening. I am currently in the process of moving, quitting my current job (3 work days left) among other things. I just can't focus on anything because I am getting too stressed about everything!
As a result, I made a tough decision to move my REG exam to October 1st. I wanted to know my score BEFORE I started at KPMG, but I don't want that score to be a failing one, so I have decided it would be better to move it. I will still have taken it before I start working on October 3rd, so technically it is still possible to reach my goal of passing all 4 parts before work begins. I will just have to wait for my score which is supposed to be released much faster in the last quarter...
I did somehow manage to finish all lectures except R-7. I am not sure I absorbed very much from them, but at least I wrote the notes down. I will still study a little for the rest of the month and then will study aggressively during September. I feel some relief, but have to be careful I don't slack off knowing I have more time now...
Thanks for taking the time to read my blog, vote on my polls and leave your comments. I appreciate it!

Frustrated to say the least...

So I managed to study a whopping 4 hours since my last post! I really don't know what is wrong with me! I just can't force myself to do this and I am frustrated with my lack of motivation. I'm not sure what my deal is. I mean, like anyone else, I have a lot of personal stuff going on, but that is inevitable. I have been able to manage it all up to this point, so why in the world am I struggling so much when I can literally see the finish line?!
I still have to watch lectures for REG-6 and 7, write notes and do MCQ for ALL sections. I am doubting I actually have the time to do all of that in these remaining couple of weeks. I am a little bit tempted to bump my exam to October 1st, but I just don't want to give myself more of a reason to slack off. I would also be giving up on my goal of passing all 4 parts before I start my career and I REALLY don't want to give up on that. So, I must accept that I have wasted the past week + and really commit to making these final few weeks count.
On another note, my husband's grandmother passed away last week. She was a beautiful lovely lady and I have the fondest memories of her fancy hats, especially on my wedding day. My husband flew home on Friday to attend the funeral. She will truly be missed by so many people.
Ok, back to REG lectures as soon as I post this...

OMG! I started off so good and then totally lost my motivation! I have only put in 4 hours of lecture since my last post! Seriously, what happened?? Even tonight I am trying to find every excuse to avoid studying. I need to get back on track immediately because I am running out of time!
After I publish this post, I am watching at least 4 hours of lecture this evening. I have to actually sit down and write out my study plan so that I feel more obligated to stick to it. That is what helped me on all the other sections, but I haven't done that yet for REG. I have a long way to go in less than 4 weeks!
If anyone else has any motivation to spare, send some my way!
